so what tipped him off as a bengalfan? was it the ski-mask, henry jersey, shots fired into the air outside, the stench of reefer, or the 3 14 year old girls in his car?

I can't top that one............

Didn't take long for Marv to let his team know what he really thinks of them at the moment.

When is he going to grow a set and call 85 out. We all know who is talking about when he publicly makes a threat to his team.

Props to keeping the Steelers well represented Down Under

It's about time - no about a year too late - he puts a lid on that dead comedy production. Ocho Cinco is as funny as Chevy Chase after the first Vacation movie. If the H of F jacket isn't the straw that breaks the camel's back then deconstructive communication with Carson Palmer will be.

Truly unfortunate that Palmer landed in the AFC North for me. But I put Carson Palmer and Troy Polamalu in the same class not because they went to SC but because the only news you get on them is football news. They both married their college sweethearts and they both know the difference between right and wrong.

85 wouldn't know how to be a professional even if they stitched it on a golden jacket. Burn baby burn.

Chad may well be immature - but if you put him in an environment where he surrounded by mature vets he would be worth the gamble for alot of teams.

I believe there is absolutely no truth to your statement. No matter where you put Chad he will always be an immature, self centered narcissist, ego-maniac who will be a disruption wherever he went. Stinko's attitude is it's all about me.

Would you be using Randy Moss going to the Patsies an example on how Stinko would benefit from a veteran team? Remember the altercation in the locker room 2 years ago during the Steelers/Bungles playoff game Stinko coming to blows with the offensive coordinator? No one believed that altercation even took place but it did. What did Lewis do about it...absolutely nothing. Should this self implosion really surprise Lewis? Ahhh no.

So here's my thoughts Marv there is no crying in football he's getting exactly what he deserves. He's never had control over his team. In the case of the bungles the lunatics are truly running the asylum.

youre exactly right. much like t.o. and moss, chad is a front runner.

its not maturity they need. they just need to be plopped into 1st place and then all of a sudden theyre interrested. as soon as they lose games, they lose interrest.

theyre more into the accolades as opposed to the actual fight, and more of a product of the talent around them. they wouldve never been able to have careers like payton, sanders, o.j., or archie manning on teams such as the bears, lions, bills, or saints.

this will be the biggest hurdle when all 3 are thinking about Hall of Fame enshrinement (and posing in the mirror [or in front of the nation] with a fake jacket they have tailored for them 10 years early).

Well to each their own - thats your opinion and you're welcome to it.

I don't see Moss and Chad as similar characters at all - its just a lazy media that lieks to throw all these guys in one convenient group.

Chad's an attention wh0re, I don't think he really has a bad bone in his body - its just he still has a deal of growing up to do - in the world of the pampered pro-sports star there isn't any presure on him to grow up any.

Moss is an intelligent, thoughtful guy - I believe he really loves the game - maybe he got a little carried away with the hype in Minny (which is a little understandable as he was a phenom as soon as he hit the scene).

The Oakland episode must have been a profoundly demoralising experience - its one thing to lose a game...its a whole other thing to know before you take the field that due to inadequate coaching and player talent, you have next to no chance of winning a game.

I think if you surrounded Chad with strong vet leadership in New England he would be a much improved player for it.

They've been great for a while now, three Super Bowls' worth of great. But only this season have the New England Patriots become The Show, the must-see team of stars, pretty boys and reformed bad boys. Suddenly, the Patriots are not simply great; they're compelling, fascinating, appearing to be almighty and a touch lawless.
The Patriots didn't bother with swagger to start this NFL season; they went straight to defiant. Either you're one of them or you're about to get crushed.

I agree AussieLewis almost seems like he is afraid to say anything to Johnson or whoesyourmoma. Just tell the guys to shut their traps and play football. I kind of felt the same way the last couple of years about Joey Porter. When you make a play just go back to the huddle and get ready for the next play. At the end of the season when we are celebrating No.6, then you can talk trash.
